    What's up everyone?! I hope this top 10 MacBook setup tips and tricks video was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about.
    Would love to know what you think. Are there any other things that you recommend doing with your new MacBook? I am grateful in advance 🙏

      Yo this is not about this video but i am really confused about what to get m50 vs sl3 cuz sl3 s cheaper in my region but i just don't know what to get because they are so close in specs and it's going to be my first camera but i want it to be more professional that will keep with me for like 5 years i watched your and other youtubers vids about this comparison and i am still confused i want to open a RUclips channel so i am worried that sl3 will have bad video so what are your thoughts what camera should i get and does the kit lense provide good bokeh on both the cameras or do i need to buy a lense for bokeh thanks you sorry for wasting your time

      The sl3 is better for video. Always start with the kit lens then upgrade your lighting and audio. Hope that helps!

    One thing I may add after watching an other Windows user setting up his Mac. When installing new apps, after you open the installer file (.dmg) there will normally open up a little window with the app icon on the left, an arrow and the applications folder on the right. Basically all you have to do is drag the app icon to the right into the folder. Easy as that. To uninstall an app, go to the app folder and drag it into the trash bin.

      yeah this was weird at first but actually is an almost stupidly simple way of installing and deleting programs that actually makes sense once you get used to it. I wouldn't say I prefer it but I almost wonder what it would be like if windows worked like that as well.

    For me the most annoying thing when I first turned on and started using my M1 MacBook Air, was the hard click on touch bar for clicking on an icon and the two fingers click instead of a right click. As a windows laptop user for a long time, I thought as if it would be really hard to get used to it but then I changed the settings of the touch pad and now I'm loving this beauty and the beast combo M1 MacBook Air 😉♥️

    I’ve been subscribing to your channel for just a while and been binge-watching many of your videos. I just wanted to let you know that I love your videos so much! I love that you dive deep into many aspects of the devices. Love how you explore many features and factors like price, RAM, storage, being making a purchase decision. Unlike some other channels which only review the device in one single video and that’s it. I’ve just bought my first MacBook Air and your videos help me a ton. Just a bit regretful that I should have watched your other video before where you mentioned that I should upgrade the RAM instead of the storage. 🥲
    I would appreciate if you could make videos about free apps on MacBook like Pages and Numbers. It’s one of the main reasons why I bought it, but I found little tutorial videos about them and most of them are pretty much out of date.

    I saw this video a few days ago but got a new M1 MacBook Air today and this was the first video I came to... was a big help as I haven't had a Mac since the mid 90s (using them exclusively from 84 to 96 though...)
